Graduating on time - In a 2003 article in the Journal of Higher Education, a group of authors set out to investigate the impact of intercollegiate athletics on graduation rates among major NCAA Division 1 Universities. They were specifically interested in the relationship between a successful sports program and the graduation rate of university students, but as part of their investigation, they also recorded several other numeric variables about the universities. In this problem you will look at a sample of 50 universities from the data set used by the authors and the three variables: Graduation rate: The average 6-year graduation rate for 1996, 1997, and 1998 ACT25: The 25th percentile of composite ACT scores for admitted students Accept. The acceptance rate of students who apply for admission to the university You want to use linear regression to predict a university's graduation rate. The scatter plots and summary statistics below summarize the data for 50 universities from the data set.

Variable Mean Standard Deviation Graduation rate 58.56 15.7422 2.805 ACT25 21.64 Accept 73.1 16.3173 The correlation coefficient for Graduation rate and ACT25 is r = 0.8169. The correlation coefficient for Graduation rate and Accept is r = -0.614. 1. Use the summary statistics to find the equation of the regression line for predicting Graduation rate from ACT25. Remember to use all decimal places for intermediate calculations. Round final answers to 4 decimal places. ŷ = + Ꮖ . 2. Calculate the R2 value for the regression of Graduation rate from Accept and complete the sentence below to interpret the R2 value. % of the variation in Graduation Rate v can be explained by the linear relationship with Accept
